He's won awards from the Greater Bridgeport Old- Timers Athletic Association, is a George Sheehan Award recipient, and in 2006 was named the FCFOA's Vincent J. Reilly Distiguished Service Award winner. Over his career he has worked five state championship contests and four South West Conference Championship Games.
